Dental Bridges

A long-lasting solution to replacing lost teeth, dental bridges from Peoria Family Dental Care is an excellent restorative dental option. Dental bridges are made of three or more porcelain crowns fused together to replace missing teeth. Unlike traditional dentures, bridges cannot be removed.

The Dental Bridge Procedure

First, you are given a local anesthetic to eliminate any pain. The teeth on either side of the missing space are then decreased in mass to prepare for crown fitting.

An impression of your teeth is administered, so that your dental bridge can be accurately molded to fit perfectly.

You are fitted with a temporary bridge to protect your gums and teeth while the customary one is being crafted.

In your next appointment, the temporary bridge is removed and your customary bridge is applied. Once it’s correctly fitted, it is cemented in place.
